He has passed Coleman in terms of ability. He messed up for the 4th goal but still one of our better players and you want him to go out on loan and put an inferior player in his place?I'd say good rather than great 1st half but then he got.carried away (as is likely given his age and lack of experience).
For his own development he needs to go out to a championship team on loan in January. Come back a more mature player and really challenge Seamus for the shirt.
